  • Fishing pole alert device
    Patent number: 5501027
    Abstract: A fishing rod alert device having an alarm signal generator, and a telescoping stake to anchor the device to the ground. The alarm signal generator has a trip bar that supports the rod near its tip. The trip bar is pivoted and spring biased. When a fish strikes the lure the trip bar is caused to pivot. After the strike the trip bar rebounds and impinges on a switch to activate the alarm signal generator, thus producing an audible and/or visual alarm signal. The sensitivity of the alarm signal generator can be adjusted by moving the pivot point of the trip bar relative to the switch.
